The Alexander Isak saga has taken a number of twists and turns over the summer but the latest has seen the Swede and Newcastle United come to blows in public.
Isak’s surprise statement added another layer of intrigue to a protracted battle of wills, with the striker insisting Newcastle have broken promises regarding previous discussions over his future.

Newcastle find themselves in an awkward position heading towards the final week of the transfer window given Isak has reportedly refused to ever don the club’s jersey again, and the Magpies must once more assess their options amid significant interest from the Premier League champions.
